The hallmark of a healthy humanity is a genuine connection to the truth
of our historical identity. History, simply put, is what happened. But
how do we find our way to the origins of the human race thousands of
years ago? We go back two and a half millennia to Greek artists who were
closer to it, and whose marble sculptures and vase paintings bear a
silent witness to the key characters and events described in the early
chapters of the Book of Genesis, validating their reality. Read more... For more information: www.genesisingreekart.com

Giants on Record: America's Hidden History, Secrets in the Mounds and the Smithsonian Files

Giants on Record: America's Hidden History, Secrets in the Mounds and the Smithsonian Files

Over a 200-year period thousands of newspaper reports, town and county histories, letters, photos, diaries, and scientific journals have documented the existence of an ancient race of giants in North America. Extremely large skeletons ranging from 7 feet up to a staggering 18 feet tall have been reportedly uncovered in prehistoric mounds, burial chambers, caves, geometric earthworks, and ancient battlefields. Strange anatomic anomalies such as double rows of teeth, horned skulls, massive jaws that fit over a modern face, and elongated skulls have also been reported. Many of these discoveries were sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., seemingly never to be heard about again. The Smithsonian's own records describe at least 17 giant skeletons in annual reports. This book examines a possible cover-up initiated by Smithsonian scientists starting in the late 1800s.

The psychology of aesthetics and the arts is
dedicated to the study of our experiences of the visual arts, music,
literature, film, performances, architecture and design; our experiences
of beauty and ugliness; our preferences and dislikes; and our everyday
perceptions of things in our world. The Cambridge Handbook of the
Psychology of Aesthetics and the Arts is a foundational volume
presenting an overview of the key concepts and theories of the
discipline where readers can learn about the questions that are being
asked and become acquainted with the perspectives and methodologies used
to address them.

This introduction to robotics offers a distinct and unified perspective of the mechanics, planning and control of robots. Ideal for self-learning, or for courses, as it assumes only freshman-level physics, ordinary differential equations, linear algebra and a little bit of computing background. Modern Robotics presents the state-of-the-art screw-theoretic techniques capturing the most salient physical features of a robot in an intuitive geometrical way.Read more...
